| I own a 2008 suzuki vzr1800n or m109r motorcycle. for the last several months including today the bike has developed a violent shudder or chatter while disengage the clutch in first and second gear. it happens mostly right after warm up and continues up until you run it through the gears a couple of times. i have spoken to three different suzuki dealers and they have brushed off the problem by saying its a trait of the motorcycle. i have not had an accident yet but it is unnerving to ride the motorcycle. on the m109riders forum you are hearing more and more complaints and a least one crash as a result of this issue. apparently suzuki is aware of this defect.(speculated to be lack of proper oiling to the clutch basket) which is causing the shudder/chatter. essentially the clutch plates are too dry to perform properly. suzuki has replaced some riders clutches under warranty but still has yet to remedy this problem. any assistance would be greatly appreciated. *tr | |||

| I have a suzuki blvd m109r i am having problems with my second gear jumping out of gear suddenly. i am riding along and and the bike will start to slow down while i am twisting the throttle for the bike to accelerate. suzuki claims that there are no problems with the transmission on these bike but i have seen the damage that can be done to the tranny when this happens. this has happened to me many times within the past year or so, its just a matter of time before complete failure of the transmission!!!! | |||

| While merging into traffic shifted to 2nd gear and just as i was changing lanes into flow of traffic my motorcycle pops itself into neutral losing all forward motion. i had to swerve back onto shoulder to avoid being struck from behind, this has happened a few times since and scares the hell out of me. | |||
